Customer review

With my spouse / partner

Backpacking / gap year

25 November 2010

Liked: The hot tub & the free popcorn! The free soup was a nice touch but beware of the heaps of pepper in it!!

Disliked: The hostel was comfortable enough but it needs a bit of a facelift & there's no lockers available (despite the fact that most people are heading out on full day Glacier trips).

Liked: Kitchen area was nice and roomy as well as all the communal areas. The staff are very friendly. Soup every evening was a nice touch though to be honest it wasnt the best soup in the world. Popcorn was also a really nice idea.

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.
